Assessing the State and Federal Missions of the National Guard

This study investigates whether the projected size of the Guard, planned through FY 1999 will be adequate; whether the current system of assigning federal missions to Guard units could be altered; whether it is advisable or feasible for states to engage in cooperative agreements to share Guard capabilities; and whether alternative federal-state cost-sharing arrangements should be implemented for Guard units whose principle function is to support state missions.R Brown is the author of 'Assessing the State and Federal Missions of the National Guard', published 1995 under ISBN 9780833016683 and ISBN 0833016687.
